Ol' stink eye
That's what Robert has been calling me for the past day and a half. We went running on the bike trail yesterday and a piece of "something" flew up into my eye. I rubbed at it, figuring I could knock it loose. I didn't. So I kept running, figuring it would work its way out. It didn't. So, I ran with one eye open, one eye closed - which, if I had ever had any experience with it, seemed like running while drunk. I had no peripheral on my right side. My right eye is also much stronger than my left, so what I could see was blurry out of the left eye. Very disconcerting.
When we got home, the eye had started to hurt, especially when open or moving. It had also started to weep badly. I got ready for work and actually DROVE, which was scary - couldn't see much. Not too smart in retrospect. Stopped at CVS to get Visine, which did nothing. Splashing water in the eye didn't do anything either. By now the eye was red and puffy. I showed up at work with dark glasses on. After about an hour, my boss suggested going to the eye doctor, and by that time I was in so much pain, I figured it was a good idea too.
When I got to the eye doctor's office, he numbed my eyes (which was blessed relief) and began poking around. Eek, nothing like SEEING something come directly at your eye and not being able to pull away. He flipped my eyelid up and scooped out the piece of "whatever" that was there. He also informed me that my eyeball had "channels" in it from whatever it was rubbing against my eyelid everytime my eye moved. (EW!) That's what was causing the pain. I felt great for a while, till the numbing stuff wore off, then the pain came back and some of the weeping too. So, my eye shrunk up to about half its size and I ended up looking like a Picasso painting. :) Hence, the nickname "stinkeye" and "one eyed willy". So after a day of rest and some anti-biotic drops, it's on its way back to normal. My eyes still look asymetrical, but I'm not taking a picture to show you. I couldn't paint or do much of anything because my vision was blurry all day.
So, a new, weird experience for me. Back to painting today. Yay....

Wow.
Yesterday's St. Peter's show was incredible. Take a look at these crowds.
Fortunately it was a bad beach day, but the rain held off, so the crowds were huge. I sold more than I ever have at one show, and went home speechless. The oils are getting a much better response than my watercolors, and that's just fine with me. I've officially "broken up" with watercolors. Their belongings are scattered across the front yard.
Here's a shot of the finished "bicycle" painting - called "Rehoboth Red Raleigh". Took this one "wet" to the show and it garnered quite a bit of interest. This will probably be my entry for the Rehoboth Art League's member show since the painting I had planned to enter sold - "September Shade" which is a huge (and expensive painting of a home on Virginia Street with green and white awnings.

A good day
This has been a good day, and I really like it when that happens.
I delivered a mini from an order taken at the Milton Show, sold two pieces out of the Gallery and got a commission for a (beautiful) house painting in Rehoboth. Nice!
So now I'm gearing up for the St. Peter's Show on Saturday. That one is usually packed with people and is a lot of fun - but HOT. That's okay though.
HAPPY FOURTH to everyone!

The beginning of a new painting
So it looks possible that I MAY have a new painting for Saturday. Maybe. I got to spend 4 or 5 hours getting this one started the other day and it's possible to have it ready (but wet) for St. Peters. Here's a shot, and I'll post more in progress.
On JULY 12, Sherry Biele and I will be the featured artists for the Mosaic Art Walk in Rehoboth Beach. She'll be showing (and working on) hand-painted (beauuuutiful) furniture, and I'll be showing (and working on) oils and watercolors. It goes from 6-9 that night and most of the galleries in town are participating.
